terriandralph,

Welcome to the forum and to Band-in-a-Box!

Styles defines what instruments, tempo, key signature, feel and (optional) midi patterns are loaded into a song project. The only way to keep styles from not loading instruments is to use one of the four BLANK utility styles however BLANK styles do not have midi patterns.

In other words, every time you load a style the style is telling Band-in-a-Box to load a new instrument set.
